A PSA 10 currently sells for about $178.29, raw the card sits at $62.59 — 2,8× as much. Of 9.257 copies already graded, 53 % received a 10 and 37 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns $126.28 on average, before fees and shipping. Rule of thumb: submit when the value at a realistic grade is at least double the raw value — which is the case here. Centering decides it: an off-centre card will not get a 10. The grade distribution comes from the PSA Population Report; people pre-sort before submitting, so your own hit rate may differ.

Across 182 auctions the median was $60.30, across 448 fixed-price sales $66.23. Fixed price therefore fetched about 10 % more — for this card patience with a set price is the better route.

Half of all sales fell between $51.90 and $70.02, with a median of $59.49. Selling fast lands you nearer the lower end; with patience, good photos and a complete title the upper end is achievable.

The cheapest genuine sales were around $44.77. Offers well below $26.86 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

From real sales: English $61.79 (547), German $51.20 (38), French $48.39 (15). English fetches about 28 % more.

lastsold uses only real sales — eBay plus auction houses like Goldin & Fanatics — recent sales count more (recency weighting), outliers and fakes are removed. It's not an estimate but actual sold prices, separated by condition, language and grading.
